hitTestObject works for one mc but not for the other

Hi - I have given instance names to two movieclips for "bee" and "energy". When I sling the "ball" up and it hits the bee all the code executes but when I sling and hit the energy nothing happens. Thanks for any help.

function onMyEnterFrame(evt:Event):void

        {

                              bee.x +=1;

                    if (bee.hitTestObject(energy))

                        {

                            trace("energy");

                            //beeHit=true;

                            energy.visible = false;

                            power.x = energy.x

                            power.y = energy.y

                            this.addChild(power);

                        }

                    if (bee.hitTestObject(ball) && beeHit==false)

                        {

                            trace("gotcha");

                            beeHit=true;

                            bee.visible = false;

                            pop_mc.x = bee.x

                            pop_mc.y = bee.y

                            this.addChild(pop_mc);

                        }

        }

You might be experienciung some confusion with your names in the coding.  I don't see anywhere where ball is checked for a hitTest with energy... the first conditional tests if bee hits energy, not ball.

Wow - I feel stupid.

Sorry for wasting your time - I was looking for something real complicated and forgot to carefully read over every line. (happens to me a lot)
